No. 6: David Schlotterbeck, former CEO of CareFusion, retired in February 2011. Like most other CEOs, his pay relied heavily on stock options and restricted stock vests. He made $10.2 million last year. CareFusion went public in August 2009, so a three-year annual average return is unavailable. But the company posted a one-year return of 20 percent for its 2011 fiscal year, which ended June 30.
